    Awesome question!

    One of my first apartments in Chicago was right next to Wrigley Field. I tell people that I wouldn’t want to live there again, but if I went back in time, I would do it all over again.

    I have learned a lot over the last few years, and I think the same answer applies here. A Rick and Morty meme video sums it up well… it’s more about the journey than the destination. Though the process was frustrating, I feel that the connections I have made with “like-minded” people in this community has been awesome and well worth the headache. I can list over a dozen people off the top of my head that I met through this journey…meaningful relationships that I value and will have for years to come. I also have a car in my garage that I dreamed about growing up.

    The answer is yes! I would convert the car again. Stumbling along on this journey, I met great people, I have some entertaining stories, and found a team with integrity to finish the job.

    Great answer!

    It’s all about the journey!

    BTW - I went to Chicago last weekend for the first time…. What a beautiful city!

    I was looking (not too hard) for the 575 hifi audio thread and couldn’t find it…so quick update here that might be useful!

    My radio had not been working since I received the car back post conversion..but with Fabio’s full exhaust installed that wasn’t too big of an issue.

    I was introduced to Tom at Becker Auto Sound who advised I could send in my OEM head unit for refurbishment and Bluetooth upgrade. Expecting to receive that back on Friday.

    I’ll be sending out my amp to @SoftwareDrone for the upgrade and hope to have a nice little sound system again on the car!

    I installed this BT unit in my car today. Bought it from Aliexpress for $15, so I didn't have high hopes it would work. But - very easy, plug and play. Took me 5 minutes max to install. Plus 1 day to find out I had to activate AUX in the hidden head unit menu to get sound out

    Hi, I have something similar and it works perfectly. Set your Becker radio to AUX following these instructions

    I tell you what man, you are not at all bashful about having things come and go from your collection and I respect that in a big way.

    I still pine over a Mercedes wagon like you had….

    I’m a notorious thread jacker….did I mention to the fchat crew that July 2nd I got my wife the new VW ID Buzz?

    I’ve never done a lease but did this time to score the instant $7500 EV credit.

    I think I have her bmw i3s sold…..

    While we are on the subject of utility vehicles, here is my hauler :). And speaker of EV credits, Com Ed (our electrical utility) is giving commercial account holders up to $30k towards an EV Hummer --- I have driven one and love it. First EV I can say that about.

    That is amazing about ComEd. A ‘23 Lightning is my daily so I would take that commercial $30k on an EV Hummer for sure.
